Council on Monday passed on third reading an ordinance authorizing the mayor to prepare, submit, negotiate and enter into an agreement with the Allen County Commissioners and Allen County Sheriff for dispatching services for the city. The contract with the county will cost Delphos $80,000 a year for the 24/7 service, saving the city more than $100,000 the first year and more than $150,000 the second, including the salaries of two part-time records clerks to take care of the required paperwork for the police department. An ordinance establishing the new position of records clerk for the police department was also passed on third reading. The parttime clerks will be hired and shall be scheduled to work no more than 50 hours per pay period at $12 per hour. Clerks will be required to take a Civil Service exam. Contracting dispatching has been a contentious issue with current dispatchers speaking to council and writing correspondence to be read during meetings. Dispatchers alluded to the fact that they do more than dispatching and how critical they can be when police and fire and rescue personnel are going to a

scene and while they are there. Rate hikes for water and sewer usage were heard on first reading. The water rate increase is proposed at 3.5 percent, including a 1.5-percent increase for the change in the Consumer Price Index. The sewer rate increase is proposed at 1.5 percent for the Consumer Price Index change. An ordinance putting 100 percent of the cost for the health insurance tax on city employees was introduced Monday. A measure splitting the cost of the new tax was defeated at the Feb. 3 meeting. The cost passed on to employees is: $16.86 per month for employee only; $33.60 for employee/spouse; $43.26 per month for employee/ spouse/one child; $52.94 per month for employee/spouse/two children; $64.22 per month for employee/ spouse/three or more children; and $26.52 per month for employee/ one child. The ordinance was sponsored by Councilman Del Kemper. The city is paying a substantial amount of employee healthcare, Kemper began. Its not real-world. Others pay much more in the same situation. Mayor Michael Gallmeier asked to speak. The administration feels that employees have had a lot put on them with the furloughs and fewer workers and we had said the city was going to pick up half of that tax and we are kind of going against what we said wed do, he said.

Ottoville addressing water line freezes on new construction

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Ottoville village council held a special meeting Monday night to discuss the new water lines that are freezing on Auglaize Street, where construction was just completed in the beginning of October 2013. Mayor Ron Miller said the majority of the houses on the south side of the street are being affected. There are eight or nine houses that have frozen water lines, Miller stated. We started getting reports of frozen pipes the second week of January. Miller said as the frost line deepens, more lines continue to freeze. Lead engineer Brian Goubeaux of Choice One Engineering was present for the meeting. Miller said water lines were placed above the storm sewers instead of going underneath. The village is looking into it and we have contacted everyone involved, Miller said. We will make a decision as soon as we have all the information. Miller said by Monday nights regularly-scheduled council meeting, there will be a decision of how to proceed. Council also discussed the force main tap-in for the property on State Route 224 across from the high school, which is the property Dollar Generals corporate headquarters has shown interest in. At Januarys council meeting, Miller said everything was on hold until Dollar Generals corporate office makes a decision. He said John Schimmoeller of Schimmoeller Construction in Kalida had been working on the property taking core samples. We had a discussion on the speed limit and development in that area, Miller said. The discussion has been tabled until the next meeting. The next village council meeting will be held in council chambers at 7 p.m. on Feb. 24.

Older Americans are early winners under health law

CARLA K. JOHNSON Associated Press CHICAGO For many older Americans who lost jobs during the recession, the quest for health care has been one obstacle after another. Theyre unwanted by employers, rejected by insurers, struggling to cover rising medical costs and praying to reach Medicare age before a health crisis. These luckless people, most in their 50s and 60s, have emerged this month as early winners under the nations new health insurance system. Along with their peers who are self-employed or whose jobs do not offer insurance, they have been signing up for coverage in large numbers, submitting new-patient forms at doctors offices and filling prescriptions at pharmacies. I just cried I was so relieved, said Maureen Grey, a 58-year-old Chicagoan who finally saw a doctor this month after a fall in September left her in constant pain. Laid off twice from full-time jobs in the past five years, she saw her income drop from $60,000 to $17,800 a year. Now doing temp work, she was uninsured for 18 months before she chose a marketplace plan for $68 a month. Americans ages 55 to 64 make up 31 percent of new enrollees in the new health insurance marketplaces, the largest segment by age group, according to the federal governments latest figures. They represent a glimmer of success for President Barack Obamas beleaguered law. The Great Recession hit them hard and for some its impact has lingered. Aging boomers are more likely to be in debt as they enter retirement than were previous generations, with many having purchased more expensive homes with smaller down payments, said economist Olivia Mitchell of University of Pennsylvanias Wharton School. One in five has unpaid medical bills and 17 percent are underwater with their home values. Fourteen percent are uninsured. As of December, 46 percent of older jobseekers were among the long-term unemployed compared with less than 25 percent before the recession. And those financial setbacks happened just as their health care needs became more acute. Americans in their mid-50s to

mid-60s are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than other age groups, younger or older, accounting for 3 in 10 of the adult diabetes diagnoses in the United States each year. And every year after age 50, the rate of cancer diagnosis climbs. The affordable coverage is an answer to a prayer really, said Laura Ingle, a 57-year-old Houston attorney who had been denied coverage repeatedly because she has sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease. She recently had back surgery for a painful condition thats been bothering her for months. One night in September, 64-year-old Glenn Nishimura woke up with wrenching pain that sent him to the emergency room. It was his gallbladder. A doctor recommended surgery. Instead, Nishimura went home. A consultant to nonprofit groups, he was self-employed and uninsured. I checked myself out because I had no idea what this was going to cost, the Little Rock, Ark., man said. They didnt want me to go, but they didnt stop me. Nishimura lost his coverage after leaving a full-time position with benefits in 2007, thinking he could land another good job. The recession ruined that plan. After COBRA coverage expired, he was denied coverage because of high blood pressure and other conditions. He made it until September without a major illness. A second night of gallbladder pain and a chat with a doctor persuaded him to have the surgery. After getting the bills, he negotiated the fees down to $12,000, which he considered a big hit, but it could have been worse. The average cost of a gallbladder removal in Arkansas was listed at three times that. Nishimura dipped into his savings to cover the bill. In December, he chose a bronze plan on the new insurance marketplace that costs him $285 a month after a tax credit. The deductible is $6,300, so he hopes he doesnt have to use his coverage. He can get on Medicare in April, just in time for his annual checkup. Now theres the peace of mind of knowing the limits of my obligation if I have catastrophic health needs, he said. Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger said hes noticed a recent increase in patients in this age group at his family practice in Miami. Lots of them have untreated chronic conditions that have progressed to an advanced stage.

Maxine M. Link, 88, of Delphos, died Monday at Vancrest Healthcare Center. Arrangements are incomplete at Harter and Schier Funeral Home.

Brick Memorial Project to support new 4-H Camp Palmer pool

Information submitted FAYETTE Over 250,000 youth from northwest Ohio have enjoyed taking the plunge and swimming fun in the camps pool since 1957. According to the American Camping Association recreational swimming is one of the top activities at youth summer camps. 4-H Camp Palmer is accepting continuing donations to support the replacement of the camps pool. Currently about 40 percent of funds ($200,000 raised thanks to many generous donors of the estimated $495,000 needed) have been raised with an anticipated new pool in place by summer of 2015. The demand and use of 4-H Camp Palmer has grown steadily since 1947. 4-H Camp Palmer is a place where adventure and excitement of discovery merge to lift minds of 21,000 camper days of youth and adults annually. 4-H Camp Palmer has also organized a brick memorial fundraiser to support the pool fund. A 22 foot by 22 foot patio will be built surrounding the camps flagpole at the center of camp.

94-year-old Heimlich maneuver namesake pens memoir

LISA CORNWELL Associated Press the technique by putting a tube with a balloon at one end down an anesthetized dogs airway until it choked. He then used the maneuver to force the dog to expel the obstruction. By 1974, I knew I needed to get the maneuver to the public as soon as possible to save lives, he said. He appeared on radio and television shows including Good Morning America and Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and started hearing from people who had used the maneuver or been saved by it. The maneuver made headlines again this month. Clint Eastwood was attending a golf event in Monterey, Calif., when the 83-year-old actor saw the tournament director choking on a piece of cheese and successfully performed the technique. The best thing about it is that it allows anyone to save a life, Heimlich said. Anne Jutt of Mason, a Cincinnati suburb, said Heimlich will always be a hero to her family. She used the maneuver last spring when her 6-year-old son was choking on a cherry tomato. I was scared of hurting him, but he was starting to get limp, she said. I put everything I had into it, and the tomato flew out like a bullet. Heimlich says the maneuver is very effective when used correctly, but he does not approve of American Red Cross guidelines calling for back blows followed by abdominal thrusts in choking cases that dont involve infants or unconscious victims. Red Cross officials say evidence shows using multiple methods can be more effective, but Heimlich says blows can drive obstructions deeper into a windpipe. The American Heart Association backs abdominal thrusts. Neither organization supports Heimlichs view that using the maneuver to remove water from the lungs could save drowning victims. They recommend CPR. There is no evidence that abdominal thrusts are effective for drowning victims, said Dr. Robert Neumar, chairman of the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee of the American Heart Association. Heimlich points with pride to some of his other innovations, such as a chest drain valve credited by some with saving soldiers and civilians during the Vietnam War. But he has drawn sharp criticism for his theory that injecting patients with a curable form of malaria could trigger immunity in patients with the HIV virus that causes AIDS. Medical experts have said injecting patients with malaria would be dangerous and have criticized Heimlich for conducting studies involving malariotherapy on HIV patients in China. Heimlich mostly brushes off criticism about his work. Ill be the first to admit that a number of my ideas are controversial and in some ways unorthodox, Heimlich said. But I have enough guts to know that when I am right, it will come about as the thing to do, even if others do the wrong thing for a time. Heimlich now lives in an assisted-living facility but responds to emails and letters about his work and makes guest appearances with the Heimlich Heroes program. The program designed to teach young people how to use the Heimlich maneuver allows him to still pursue his passion for saving lives. And Im not done yet, he said with a grin.

Individual, family or non-profit youth group can order one for $100 or business can purchase a brick for $275 to advertise as thousands of youth and adults will walk by the patio at the center of camp. One of our early camp administrators and 4-H leaders, Lyle Spiess and wife, Hilda Spiess have spearheaded this project with a generous $5,000 donation. This will cover the cost of concrete pavement and purchase of 1,000 bricks. We are very thankful for their support of this project and camp, said Bill Goodson, executive director of 4-H Camp Palmer. The plan is to have bricks that have been purchased prior to April 6 to be installed by early June. Bricks ordered by July 20 will be installed by early October. The first three years of this brick memorial project, the proceeds will benefit the pool. For more information on ways to support 4-H Camp Palmer pool project or order your memorial brick please call 419-237-2247 or email 4hcamppalmer@ gmail.com

C I N C I N N ATI The Cincinnati surgeon who wrote the book on saving choking victims through his namesake Heimlich maneuver has now penned a new book: his memoir. Dr. Henry Heimlichs views on how the maneuver should be used and on other innovations he has created or proposed have put him at odds with some in the health field. But he hopes his recently published memoir will preserve the technique that has cleared obstructions from windpipes of choking victims around the world for four decades and made his name a household word. I know the maneuver saves lives, and I want it to be used and remembered, the 94-yearold retired chest surgeon told The Associated Press this month. I felt I had to have it down in print so the public will have the correct information. Much of his autobiography Heimlichs Maneuvers: My Seventy Years of Lifesaving Innovation focuses on the maneuver, which involves thrusts to the abdomen that apply upward pressure on the diaphragm to create an air flow forcing food or other objects out of the windpipe. Heimlich says thousands of deaths reported annually from choking prompted him in 1972 to seek a solution. Over the next two years, leading a team of researchers at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, he successfully tested

Lego Movie blocks RoboCop, About Last Night

DERRIK J. LANG Associated Press LOS ANGELES The Lego Movie built a huge lead on top of the weekends new releases at the box office. In its second outing, the Warner Bros. animated film featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett earned $48.8 million to take first place, according to studio estimates Sunday. That brings the film based on the toy brick-building franchises domestic box office total to $129.1 million, cementing it was one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Its crossing over to all audiences, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. Its not just a kids movie. Theres something for boys, girls and adults, as well. The likeability is astronomical. That across-the-board appeal is giving The Lego Movie unstoppable momentum, even in a weekend loaded with new competitors. The Lego Movie earned an additional $27.7 million from 42 international territories, including the United Kingdom, Holland, Sweden and Norway. The worldwide total box office for Lego Movie now stands at $180.3 million. Sonys romantic comedy About Last Night starring Kevin Hart and Michael Ealy came in second place with $27 million. The strong showing further demonstrated Harts clout as a box-office draw. The actor-comedians other film, the buddy-cop comedy Ride Along with Ice Cube, nabbed $8.8 million in its fifth weekend to take the sixth spot at the box office. I dont think theres anyone funnier out there today than Kevin Hart, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. Hes at the top, and he couldnt be a nicer or more hardworking guy. He got out there and promoted About Last Night really, really hard. The chemistry that he brings to the table is just infectious. You cant help but wanna take the ride with him. The action-packed RoboCop reboot from Sony and MGM featuring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton captured third place with $21.5 million. The update to the original 1987 sci-fi film starring Peter Weller as a robotic officer performed better overseas, earning $35 million from 37 international markets, including France, Australia and Germany.

12 Years a Slave named best film at UK awards

JILL LAWLESS Associated Press LONDON The force of Gravity was strong at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday but it was unflinching drama 12 Years a Slave that took the top prize. Steve McQueens visceral, violent story of a free black man kidnapped into servitude in the 19th-century U.S. South was named best picture. Its star, Chiwetel Ejiofor, took the male acting trophy. Ejiofor thanked McQueen, a visual artist who turned to filmmaking with Hunger and Shame, for bringing the story to the screen. Holding the trophy, the British actor told McQueen: This is yours. Im going to keep it thats the kind of guy I am but its yours. McQueen reminded the ceremonys black-tie audience that, in some parts of the world, slavery is not a thing of the past. There are 21 million people in slavery as we sit here, he said. I just hope 150 years from now our ambivalence will not allow another filmmaker to make this film. The prizes, coming two weeks before Hollywoods Academy Awards, are watched as an indicator of likely Oscars success. It was a good night for lost-in-space thriller Gravity, which won six prizes, including best director for Alfonso Cuaron. The 3-D special effects extravaganza also took the awards for sound, music, cinematography and visual effects. And despite its mixed parentage made in Britain by a Mexican director and starring American actors it was named best British film. Cuaron paid tribute to star Sandra Bullock, who is alone onscreen for much of the film. Without her performance, everything would have been nonsense, he said. Con-artist caper American Hustle charmed its way to three prizes, including original screenplay and supporting actress for Jennifer Lawrence. Its spectacular 70s stylings took the hair and makeup award. The best-actress prize went to Cate Blanchett for her turn as a socialite on the slide in Blue Jasmine. She dedicated the award to her friend and fellow actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died this month, calling him a monumental presence who is now sadly an absence. Phil, buddy, this is for you, you bastard. I hope youre proud, Blanchett said. The supporting actor prize went to Barkhad Abdi, who made an explosive screen debut as a Somali pirate in Captain Phillips. The 28-year-old called his experience of going from obscurity in Minnesota to stardom complete with an Oscar nomination surreal.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) It used to be that hacking was just a type of crime, a computer break-in. But today, the term is also part of a growing and perfectly legal mainstay of the tech sector. Computer programming competitions known as hackathons have spread like viruses in recent years as ways for geeks, nerds and designers to get together to eat pizza, lose sleep and create something new. The formal, marathon group brainstorming sessions are focused on everything from developing lucrative apps to using computer code to solve the worlds problems. This year a record 1,500 hackathons are planned around the globe, up from just a handful in 2010. A hackathon is the fastest way to actually do something about an idea, said Nima Adelkhani, organizer of the weekend-long Hack for Peace in the Middle East competition in San Francisco this month. Law enforcement has not abandoned the term. Dozens of federally convicted hackers are serving prison sentences for computer fraud and other

Computer whizzes brainstorm

cybercrimes. And the Justice Departments cybercrime budget this year is $9 million to target offenses that include hacking. But the new uses have popped up with increasing frequency since a pair of tech events in 1999 where developers worked together to write programs. Yahoo gets recognition for the first official hackathon in 2005. And Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been largely credited with helping broaden the definitions by urging his staff to hack by building something quickly or testing the boundaries of what can be done. A new Facebook option that went live Thursday allowing users more than 50 ways to identify their gender beyond male and female was conceived during a company hackathon four months ago. This month, the first global hackathon for Black Male Achievement was held in Oakland, Calif. Music Hack Day is coming in Tokyo and Hackomotive competitors will develop apps in Santa Monica, Calif., that make it easier to buy and sell cars.

Next up: TV ads just for you, dear voter

PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) The days when political campaigns would try to make inroads with demographic groups such as soccer moms or white workingclass voters are gone. Now, the operatives are targeting specific individuals. And, in some places, they can reach those individuals directly through their televisions. Welcome to Addressable TV, an emerging technology that allows advertisers Senate hopefuls and insurance companies alike to pay some broadcasters to pinpoint specific homes. Advertisers have long bought ads knowing that only a fraction of the audience was likely to respond to them. Allowing campaigns political or not to finely hone their TV pitches to individuals could let them more efficiently spend their advertising dollars. With a traditional TV buy you can end up paying for a lot of eyeballs you dont care about, said Chauncey McLean, chief operating officer of the Analytics Media Group, an ad and data firm. Addressable TV is a powerful tool for those that are equipped to use it. If you know who you want to talk to and what you want to say, you can be much more precise. Data geeks look at everything from voting histories to demographics, magazine subscriptions to credit scores, all in the hopes of identifying their target audience. The advertiser then hands over a list of targets and, without the viewer necessarily realizing it, the ads pop on when viewers sit down to watch a program if their broadcaster has the technology. This is the power of a 30-second television commercial with the precision of a piece of direct mail targeted to the individual household level, said Paul Guyardo, chief revenue officer at DirecTV. Never before have advertisers had that level of

In the past few years, the British prizes, known as BAFTAs, have helped underdog films, including Slumdog Millionaire, The Kings Speech and The Artist, gain Oscars momentum. The prize for adapted screenplay went to Philomena, based on the true story of an Irish womans decades-long search for the son she was forced to give up for adoption. The awards have become an essential stop for many Hollywood stars before the Academy Awards, held this year on March 2. The temperature in London was hardly Hollywood, but Britains fickle weather relented ahead of Sundays ceremony. The sun shone as nominees including Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio and 12 Years a Slave performer Lupita Nyongo striking in a green Dior gown walked the red carpet outside Londons Royal Opera House. Best-actress nominee Amy Adams wore a black dress by Victoria Beckham, and revealed the inspirations for her American Hustle characters faux-British accent: Marianne Faithfull and Julie Christie. There was royalty of the Hollywood kind Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, wearing matching tuxedos. And there was British royalty, too, in the form of Prince William, honorary president of the film academy. The documentary prize went to Joshua Oppenheimers The Act of Killing, a powerful look at hundreds of thousands of killings carried out in 1960s Indonesia in the name of fighting communism. Will Poulter (Son of Rambow, Were the Millers), a 21-year-old actor, won the rising star award, decided by public vote. Director Peter Greenaway received an award for outstanding contribution to British cinema for a body of unsettling, comic and erotic films that includes The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover and The Draughtsmans Contract. Greenaway said he hoped the trophy would encourage those, like him, who believe that cinema has to be continually reinvented. Helen Mirren received the British Academy Fellowship in recognition of a career that has ranged from a hard-nosed detective in TV series Prime Suspect to Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen. Mirren, 68, said she was almost speechless at receiving the honor, whose previous recipients include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor and Judi Dench. Its been an amazing journey up to now, she said. She was given the trophy by Prince William who said he should probably call her granny. Mirren won an Oscar for playing his grandmother, Britains monarch, in The Queen. I wanted to have a hanky in my bag and take it out and spit on it and clean his face, Mirren joked.

precision when it came to a 30-second commercial. The level of precision on televisions has long been a dream for political campaigns, which are decided by relatively small groups of voters. President Barack Obamas campaign in 2012 experimented with it on a small scale, but too few homes were in broadcasting systems equipped to handle house-by-house decisions. But earlier this year, DirecTV and Dish Network announced a partnership that would allow political clients to reach into about 20 million households by matching up customers identities with their satellite receiver, much like a telephone number rings at a specific handset. At the same time, NBC and parent company Comcast are opening the door for advertisers to target specific households using video-on-demand services in 20 million more households. The communications giant is not yet ready to implement the targeting during live broadcasts, though.

God, Flag and Country speeches

What Does War Have To Do With Our Flag? by Nicholas Curth Age 10-11 First place What does war have to do with our flag? Thats a good question. Im going to take you on a brief journey through time. Come on, lets go! Welcome to Fort McHenry! Hi, Im Francis Scott Key, writer of the Star Spangled Banner. Im going to tell you a little bit about my poem. Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light this is what I saw from the fort in the morning. But, what gave it away was that I heard bombs bursting in air. This gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Americas brave soldiers took over the British once more. The United States of Americas flag represents a lot, and tells a lot about our past. The American flag, as I hold in my hand, stands for freedom. We didnt always have freedom; we had to fight for it. At one point in time, we were ruled by England. Now we are able to govern ourselves. Here is an acronym for F.L.A.G. F. F stands for freedom. Freedom from being ruled by other countries. L. The L stands for loyalty loyalty to our flag and country. The flag has rules, and we must follow them. For example, we cant let the flag touch the ground. A. A stands for ask. Ask a soldier how it felt to be in combat, to be serving for our wonderful country. G. The G stands for God. God has done so much to protect us during all this war. Just remember, obey the rules of the flag. War, a powerful word. Not as powerful as flag. Our flag has been through a lot. Just think of all those brave men and women serving overseas right now. Think of returned veterans, wounded soldiers, soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, for us, for you. They fought for our country, our flag, and our home, which we can call America. So repay them the favor, protect America. After all, this is your home. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! The Crucifix by Rileigh Rahrig Age 10-11 Second place This is a very special crucifix. It was made of black wood in the 1800s in Germany and has a skull and crossbones at the feet of Christ. The skull and crossbones symbolizes Jesuss victory over death. It has lasted 5 generations. Some people might think it is valuable for its age, but it is even more special to me. My ninety four year old great grandfather Omer Pothast served in the US army during World War Two. He entered on July 4, 1944 and returned two years later. His dad received this crucifix from his dad and gave it to my great-grandfather before he left. He carried it in his pocket with him during the war. At night when he kept watch, he took out this crucifix and prayed the rosary to make him feel safe. To me this crucifix represents sacrifice because he sacrificed his life for our freedom. Like many other young American men during that time period, my great grandfather went overseas to Europe and risked his life to end the evil and keep our freedom. He left his family and friends for a battlefield. It was very difficult for him because he loved the people he left behind. When he prayed the rosary, he remembered his family and friends. My great grandfather went through many scary days and nights to keep our freedom. When I look at this crucifix I think of all the people who lost their lives or the lives of someone they loved during the war. I also think of sacrifice and everyone who helped keep our freedom. Because of that, Im proud to be an American, where I know Im free thanks to the brave men and women who have served our country. World War II by Ethan Dunlap Age 10-11 Third place My God Flag and Country project is about World War II and my three great grandfathers who fought in this war. I chose this topic because it seems interesting to me. I also chose this topic because I wanted to learn more about what my three great grandfathers did in the war. What happened in this war interested me. There are some funny and scary stories that happened to my great grandfathers. World War II started in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. It was fought between the Axis powers (Japan, Italy, and Germany) and the Allied powers (U.S., Great Britain, and the Soviet Union). The U.S. joined World War II on Dec. 7, 1941 when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Learning about Pearl Harbor made me feel a little angry but mostly sad for what happened there. World War II ended when Germany surrendered in 1945. At least 16 million servicemen from both sides died in World War II and many more were wounded. Many millions of civilians were also killed and wounded. Men and women in the U.S. worked together to support the U.S. troops. My great grandmother, Betty Flick Agler, was one of the many women who went to work in a factory during the war. I think it is amazing that she ran a drill press because that was a job that mostly men handled. I had three great grandfathers who served in World War II. My great grandfather, Robert Dunlap, was a medic in the army and served on the frontlines during the Battle of the Bulge. One funny story about my great grandpa Dunlap happened when his men set up base in an old castle. One night he got in trouble for sliding down the winding staircase banister when he was bored. My great grandfather, Harvey Chiles was a tech sergeant in the army air force, and was stationed in New Guinea. He was trained as a gunnery sergeant but when he reported for duty, his commanding officer made him a mess sergeant. My great grandfather, Jordan Flick served in the army and was stationed in Germany. He was one of the soldiers who went through towns that had been bombed and searched for Germany soldiers hiding out. One time when German soldiers were shooting at him, a bullet got stuck in the heel of his boot! I think all my great grandfathers were really brave! Im so glad I got to pick the topic of World War II for my report. I learned so much about World War II that I didnt know. I learned things about my great grandparents that made me see them as real people instead of just stories. Im proud of our country for winning the war and for everyone who did their part to make that happen. Im proud to be American because of my grandfathers that fought in this war and the sacrifices they made for my freedom. The Party That Wasnt a Party by Trysten Smith Age 12-13 First place Almost everyone has been to some type of party. Most people think of a party as fun, games, music, and a good time with your friends. However, one of the most famous parties in American history was the Boston Tea Party and was DEFINITELY NOT like a party you have attended. Picture this early Colonial America, 1773, increased tension building between the American colonists and the British government. At the completion of the French and Indian War, Britain was left with a huge increase in their national debt due to the expenses incurred from fighting such a long war. As a way to help pay down their new debt, the British government decided to charge higher taxes to the American colonies, which eventually led to the Boston Tea Party. Colonists sailed to America in search for religious and political freedoms. Although they were living in a new country, they were still under the rule of the British government and became angered at the increased demands of Britain over them. Why were they mad? Many reasons. The main reasons were the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act, which included taxation policies. Along with the increased amounts of taxes being demanded, the British also enacted other laws that decreased the freedoms of the American colonists. The American colonists were furious and protested these acts. In response to the taxes, the colonists discouraged the purchase of imported British goods. Because of the loss of revenue from the boycott, British Parliament withdrew all the Townshend Act except the taxes on tea. The Tea Act of 1773 was enacted by the British Parliament as an effort to save the failing British East India Company by greatly lowering its tea tax and essentially granting it a monopoly on American tea trade. Many colonists viewed the act as yet another example of Britains taxation tyranny. American colonists condemned this act and many planned to boycott their tea. When the British tea ships Dartmouth, Eleanor and Beaver arrived at the Boston Harbor, many citizens wanted the tea sent back to England without the payment of any taxes. On December 16th, a group of 70 men disguised as Mohawk Indians, also recognized as The Sons of Liberty, boarded the ships. George Hewes recalled We then were ordered by our commander to open the hatches and take out all the chests of tea and throw them overboard. The men threw 342 chests of tea in the harbor, which was 18,000 pounds worth of tea! It was worth more than $700,000 in todays currency. The colonists actions, which became known as the Boston Tea Party, set in motion events that led directly to the American Revolution. Since the American Revolution resulted in our country gaining freedom from Britain and establishing an independent nation, I feel that we can credit our American freedoms to The Sons of Liberty and their renegade costume party in the Boston Harbor.

Bath owns glass to down Jays Horstman earns historic

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Bath used its size and length to dominate the glass 38-21, including 18-4 offensive, as the Wildcats downed homestanding St. Johns 64-57 in non-conference boys cage action Saturday night inside Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium. The Wildcats (15-4) used the tandem of 6-6 senior Taren Sullivan (25 markers, 5 boards, 4 steals) and 6-2 senior Hayden Atkins (21 counters, 11 rebounds) to lead the way. Guiding the Blue Jays (118) were junior Andy grothouse (17 counters, 4 boards), senior Eric Clark (16 points) and junior Alex Odenweller (12) to keep up. The Jays, already at a size disadvantage, were without the services of 6-5 junior Tyler Conley, who became ill during pre-game warmups and couldnt come back. Obviously, thats disappointing; he wanted to play and felt like he let the team down. I feel bad for him, St. Johns coach Aaron Elwer noted. Not having his size in there was tough to off-set. At the same time, you have to be prepared for things like this to happen in a season; its the next guy up that has to step in there and play. Bath head man Doug Davis credited Atkins for being as key to the win, helping his unit bounce back from a tough loss the night before to WBL archriwe are mentally tough enough to put that behind us. The Wildcats got to the offensive glass in the first period, getting six second-chances. That helped them off-set a 5-of17 shooting performance and limited the Blue Jays to only nine shots (making 4). Bath held an 8-3 lead on a Sullivan trifecta at the 5-minute mark before the Jays steadily rallied and took their first lead of 13-10 on an Odenweller bombs from the right corner at 1:55. Bath tied it on a Atkins trio from the right corner at 56 ticks for a 13-13 quarter. Grothouse (4 rebounds) hit the first of his two secondperiod treys to open the quarter and that just started a close stanza that saw one tie and five lead changes, the last when Bath took the lead for good at 27-26 on an Isiah Frazier basket at the 3-minute mark. Sullivan dropped in seven and Atkins six, as well as the visitors grabbing seven more offensive boards, helping them put together a 10-2 closing spell and take a 35-28 margin on a Frazier bomb from the left wing at 10 ticks. Bath tried to pull away in the third canto but the Jays wouldnt let them. The visitor lead never went above seven at 37-30 and never dropped below two 41-39 on a triple by Odenweller at 2:12. When senior Ryan Koester (8 markers, 6 boards) drained a pair of free throws at 3.2 ticks, the Jays were within 45-41. See JAYS, page 7

Vikings rain on Big Greens PCL hopes

By BOB WEBER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE As the regular season nears the end for most high school teams and with championship titles on the line, the Leipsic Vikings came to the home of the Big Green Saturday night for their annual Putnam County League boys basketball matchup. With the win on the evening, the Big Green could do no worse than tie for the league championship with either Miller City or Columbus Grove, who also played each other Saturday night and Miller City got the win. The Vikings used a poor shooting performance from the home squad and a strong fourth period to come away with a 55-45 win. The Vikings, under the leadership of head coach Scott Maag ,came out firing in the first quarter and grabbed an early 5-0 lead behind senior Zach Kuhlman. Kuhlman (8 points in the quarter) and his teammates grabbed an early 15-8 lead after the first eight minutes of play. For the Big Green, only one shot fell in the first quarter - a 3-ball from senior Luke Schimmoeller. The Big Green went 5-6 from the charity line to add to their eight points in the quarter. The second quarter again found the Big Green shooting woes continuing as they were only came away with two baskets, again by Schimmoeller, in the quarter. The home squad went 9-10 from the stripe to keep the game within reach at halftime. Kuhlman kept the pressure on the Big Green the entire first half with nine points in the second quarter, giving him 17 of his teams 28 first-half points. He found the range from behind the arc and also had some very nice driving layups or pull-up jumpers that the Big Green just couldnt stop. The Vikings led 28-21 after two quarters of play. The third quarter found the Big Greens defense, especially on Kuhlman, paying big dividends for them. The Vikings only mustered four points in the quarter with Kuhlman only adding one free throw to his total on the night. Junior Tyler Roby came off the bench for the Big Green with eight points in the quarter and with his second

Miller City clinches PCL boys title

By DAVE BONINSEGNA DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com MILLER CITY The Columbus Grove Bulldogs boys basketball team had dominated the Miller City Wildcats in recent years, winner six of the last seven contests. The last time that the Wildcats beat their Putnam County League foe was in 2010 but Saturday night in Miller City was for the Putnam County League title. The Cats took advantage of an early 9-0 run, dominated the inside game and did something that a Miller City boys basketball team had not done in 20 years as the home team celebrated a PCL title with a 57-41 victory over the Bulldogs. Adam Niese was a permanent fixture in the low post for the Wildcats, leading the way with 21 points, Adam Drummelsmith added 14 and Jackson Lammers got into double figures with 10, draining three from long range in the win. The Bulldogs struggled on both sides of the court, shooting 8-of-22 in each half to go 16-of44 from the field and turning the ball over 20 times. Jace Darbyshire led the Bulldogs with 16 markers and Riley Brubaker added 10 in the effort. Niese and Darbyshire exchanged 5-0 runs for their teams to open up the contest before the Wildcats took to a 9-0 spurt, finishing the first eight minutes on a Cory Heuerman deuce to give the home team a 16-9 lead at the first stop. The Cats took a 10-point lead on the first basket of the second period on a Lammers long ball to make it 19-9 with 6:40 left. Columbus Grove got as close as six when Logan Diller hit a pair from the line to cut the deficit to 23-17 with about a minute before the break but still trailed 27-19 heading into the half. Grove appeared to be on the comeback trail in the third the Bulldogs scored the first four points and made it a 27-23 game but another scoring spree by the hosts extended the lead to 32-23 after Lammers hit his second 3-point shot of the game with just over four minutes left in the frame. Niese continued to control the low post as the junior collect six of his game-high points in the canto and led his team to a 44-30 advantage after the third stop. Miller City grabbed its biggest lead thus far with 5:01

3-pointer of the quarter gave the Big Green their first lead on the night, 33-32, after three quarters of play. The Vikings were outscored 12-4 in the quarter. Many games, especially tough league contests, usually come down to the fourth quarter and foul shooting. Foul shooting was not the issue for the Big Green as they went to the line 30 times on the night, connecting on 24 of them for 80 percent. However, the Big Green could only make nine shots from the field on 40 attempts (23%) for the contest. For the purple and white of Leipsic, the fourth quarter was its biggest point total on the night with 23 points. The Vikings got a big boost off the bench from sophomore Matt Schroeder with 11 of his 13 points in the quarter. Sophomore Jordan Brown also had a big quarter with five of his seven points coming in the quarter. The Vikings were 10-14 (71%) from the foul line in the fourth period. The Vikings win against the Big Green evened their season record at 10-10. The Big Green, seeing their PCL title dreams vanished, now stand at 8-13 on the year and finish with a 5-2 mark in the league. See GREEN, page 7

Lady Rockets close with PCL victory

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com PANDORA Pandora-Gilboa built a 19-9 lead after one quarter of basketball Saturday afternoon and repelled every Columbus Grove challenge to send five seniors out with a 54-47 Putnam County League girls hardwood triumph at The Launching Pad of P-G High School. One of those seniors, Megan Maag, led all scorers and the Lady Rockets (148) with 20 markers and another senior, Olivia Maag, added 13. Guiding the Lady Bulldogs (13-9, 4-3 PCL) were senior Julia Wynn with nine and eight each by senior Rachel Schumacher and freshman Jade Clement. Pandora is a very, very good team. They struggled some early but theyve run off a nice string of victories, something like nine, Grove head man Brian Schroeder said. They were one of the most talented teams coming into the season and one of the favorites in the PCL; they are starting to play like it. We had trouble handling their quick and athletic guards and they have some length to bother you defensively. Pandora coach Jessica Liedtke was happy to end on a winning note. We have the five seniors and its always nice to send them out on Senior Day with a win. Its an exciting win for them, Liedtke acknowledged. We talked to the girls before the game about how this one was for the seniors and we had good focus from the start. The Bulldogs scored the first bucket a drive by Jade Clement at 7:09 and Anna Abelovska tied it at 6:49 on a baseline turnaround. Olivia Maag hit a 3-ball at 5:18, only to see Groves Rachel Schumacher and Sammi Stechschulte answer with baskets to

Five local champions crowned at wrestling Sectionals

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com LIMA Area wrestlers were wellrepresented on the awards stand following two days of Division III wrestling Sectional championships held at Lima Central Catholic High School over the weekend. After the last of the 406 bracketed matchups were decided, a total of 28 local wrestlers and seven alternates were moving onto the District tournament at Troys Hobart Arena. The St. Johns Blue Jays had three individual champions for Coach Derek Sterling: Justin Siefker (138), Austin Martin (152) and Wes Buettner (170). Justin had an amazing weekend in beating three wrestlers in a row that had previously beaten him in the past, said Sterling. Austin Martin is wrestling the best that I have ever seen him wrestle. He tech-falled his way at sectionals to defend his title. Being a 2-time sectional champion is not an easy thing to do and he joins a short list of 2-time Blue Jay sectional champions. Wes dominated his opponents on his way to a title. He pinned his first and techfalled his last two opponents to claim the crown. Siefker overcame a gash under his eye suffered during his title bout and three blood times to down Spencervilles Cole Bellows 6-2 in the 138-pound championship. Martin knocked off Jefferson freshman Hunter Binkley in the title match. Buettner downed Lincolnview senior Doug Hicks in the 170-pound championship match. Nate Schroeder was runner-up at 285 pounds, losing to Spencervilles Logan Vandemark in the final match of the tournament to win the championship. Junior Alex Haunhorst lost to Jacob Dingus of Wayne Trace 3-0 to place fourth. Sophomore Evan Mohler also qualified for districts with a fourth-place finish after an injury default. Rounding out a trio of fourth-place finishes for the Blue Jays was Austin Schulte at 195 pounds, falling to Gabe Hill of Van Wert in overtime 9-7 . A pair of alternates for St. Johns are Avery Martin (113) and Brett Vonderwell (145). Nate, Evan and Austin, along with Avery and Brett, had impressive weekends. We had eight wins at sectionals over (Continued from page 6)

Jeffersons Tyler Foust pinned Will Selhorst of Columbus Grove with only 11 seconds remaining in the Division III Sectional-final match in the 182-pound bracket held at Lima Central Catholic Saturday. Despite this predicament, Justin Siefker of St. Johns defeated Spencervilles Cole Bellows 6-2 to capture the 138-pound title at the LCC Sectional Wrestling Championships. (Delphos Herald/Larry Heiing)
wrestlers that beat us earlier in the year; that means we are improving and peaking at the right time, concluded Sterling. Jeffersons Tyler Foust came back in his match against Will Selhorst of Columbus Grove to win the 182-pound sectional championship with a pin with only 11 seconds remaining in the match. Tyler defeated two wrestlers at sectionals that he lost to at the conference championships a couple of weeks ago, explained Jefferson coach Mike Wilson. He has shown great improvement in the last few weeks and is peaking at exactly the right time. The Wildcats had three runner ups qualify for districts next weekend. Tyler Showalter of Wayne Trace defeated Tanner Vermule in a back-and-forth contest 8-7. A pleasant surprise for Coach Wilson was Binkleys advancement to the championship match at 152 pounds. Hunter was disappointed with the way he performed in the championship match against Martin, continued Wilson. I told him that Martin is a good wrestler and a senior with lots of experience. You are a freshman, your time will come and you just qualified for districts as a freshman. After that, he was pretty happy with what he accomplished over the weekend. The final runner-up for the Wildcats was senior Dustin McConnahea in the 220-pound bracket. Justin Post became the fourth individual champion for Coldwater after he pinned McConnahea in 2:37. Wildcat freshman David Grant pinned Columbus Groves Preston Brubaker in only 43 seconds to place third in the 106-pounders. We have no clear-cut favorites to make it to State, Wilson added. I think if they all wrestle at districts the way that they are capable of, they all have a chance to advance to the State tournament. Bearcats head coach Zac Clum never left mat side in the middle weight classes as he had four wrestlers in a row competing for seedings at districts. Peyton Ford was first in the round circle at 120 pounds, losing to Coldwaters Tyler Hemmelgarn 13-3. The 126-pound Cody Dickson was next and captured the runner-up championship after suffering a 10-2 loss to Spencer Seibert of Coldwater. Senior Trevor Bockey faced the third Cavalier in a row for the Bearcat team and nearly got a reverse in the closing seconds but lost a close 4-3 match at 132 pounds. We entered Saturday with 12 wrestlers and placed nine of them, Coach Clum said. I am very pleased with our performance at sectionals and will try to keep it rolling with our five wrestlers next week. The Lincolnview Lancers had two wrestlers advance with one alternate. Besides Hicks continuing his successful senior season, Alex Rodriguez qualified for districts in the 113-pound division by finishing in fourth place. He lost a tight match to his nemesis this season, Schuyler Caprella of Allen East, 11-10. Ernie Siefker has a trio of district alterAutumn Proctor is an alternate at 106 nates as Andrew Burgei (160), Alex Burgei (195) and Andrew Nichols (220) placed pounds, finishing in fifth place.

Green

The Bulldogs, who shot 7-of-26 in the first half (18-of-46 overall, 3-of-13 3s, for 39.1%), needed to heat up to make a serious run in the third. They didnt, though they shot 4-of-7. P-G who finished 11-of-21 in the first 16 minutes (20-of-42 total, 4-of-9 downtown, for 47.6%) answered with 5-of-12. Thus, the nearest the guests could get was eight points twice, the latter at 33-25 on a basket by Lynea Diller at 2:25. The Rockets ended the period with a 9-5 span, including a putback by Shea Watkins with 5.1 seconds showing, to secure a 42-30 edge entering the regular-season finale. Try as they might, the Bulldogs simply could not make a serious inroads into their deficit until late in the fourth. Down 49-36 on a deuce by M. Maag at 2:40, the Bulldogs were forced to foul and thanks to 3-of-11 free-throw shooting by the Lady Rockets in the final 1:13 (10-of-21 total for 47.6%), the Scarlet and Gray got within 53-47 on a Schumacher basket with 12 ticks remaining but it was too little, too late. Grove netted 8-of-11 charity tosses (73.7%); seized 27 boards (9 offensive) as Stechschulte had nine and Wynn four; 10 turnovers; and 19 infractions. They got off to that lead after the first period and we had to play catch-up the rest of the way,

Schroeder added. For us, it came down to simply not being able to knock down shots. With a good scoring team like Pandora, you have to be scoring in the 50- to 60-point range to stay with them; we couldnt shoot well enough to do that. Pandora-Gilboa secured 29 off the glass (9 offensive) as O. Maag and M. Maag had six each; and amassed 10 fouls and eight miscues. Vanessa McCullough delivered seven assists and Hunter Hermiller four (3 steals). We did a nice job defending them, especially on the perimeter, Liedtke added. Grove is a good team and outside of one span in the second quarter, we made things tough on them. We were very sound defensively and didnt give them a lot of easy looks. We had a lot of nice looks offensively and shot well. In junior varsity action, the Lady Bulldogs eked out a 39-37 victory. Pacing the Lady Bulldogs were Brooke Hoffman with 12 and 10 by Macy McCluer. For the Lady Rockets, Lindsay Macke netted 12.

There are a lot of voices going on in their heads right now, said Bagley of the sudden cold shooting spell. Weve played nine games in 19 days, so were taking (the next two days) off. Weve hit a block. We were so close against Defiance, then a tough game against St. Henry and we played a really good game against St. Johns on Tuesday. I thought wed turned the corner, then a tough loss last night. We had a good start last night and tonight, then the wheels fell off. Im gonna work my hardest to figure this out. Thompson and Austin Jettinghoff had four assists each for the Wildcats. Van Wert (14-7) dominated the junior varsity game 61-20. The Cougars got 10 points apiece from Colin Smith, Gavin Cross and Keagon Hardmon. Drew Reiss led Jefferson (12-8) with eight. Jefferson hosts Bluffton Friday, while Van Wert hosts St. Marys Memorial.

Baths defense seemed to start wearing down the Jays in the fourth, allowing them to sprint to a 53-41 lead on an Atkins 3-point play at the 5-minute mark. However, they could not put the Jays away and the Blue and Gold behind seven from Grothouse and four by Odenweller battled back, standing at 56-51 on a Grothouse drive at 1:43. Atkins came up with a big hoop-and-harm at 1:25 and the guests then hit 5-of-6 free tosses (8-of-11 in the finale, 16-of-21 overall for 76.2%) to finally subdue their foe. I was disappointed in our execution. I understand how athletic and lengthy Bath is; you cant simulate that in practice, especially with only a Saturday morning of preparation, Elwer added. It still came down to our inability to rebound, especially the defensive boards, as well as being fundamentally sound with the basketball with our passing and ballhandling. We guarded them well and our effort was great; thats never been a problem. We played so hard to have a chance and I felt we let it get away from us. Bath finished with these stats: 21-of-54

shooting, 6-of-18 long range, for 38.9 percent; with 13 errors; and 16 fouls. We never really got to a place where we felt comfortable with the lead, Davis added. Whenever we seemed ready to get there, theyd hit a 3 and be right back in it, staying within the 4- to 6-point range. We made a lot of 3s in the first half but we wanted to make an effort to get the ball inside the second half and it just kept going that way. In sum, the Jays ended up at 19-of-43 shooting, 8-of-21 beyond the arc, for 44.2 percent; 11-of-12 singles (91.7%); 12 miscues; and 19 fouls. Bath takes on Perry Tuesday in a makeup game, while the Jays host Parkway to end regular-season play Friday. In junior varsity action, the Wildcats improved to 8-11 with a 57-42 triumph. Chase Clark dropped in 23 and Cam Clark 18 for the victors. Gage Seffernick drained 16 (4 bombs) for the JV Jays (1-15) and Robby Saine 11 (3 bombs).

Council

(Continued from page 1)

Speeches

In old business, Councilman Mark Clement brought to the floor the question of coming up with some type of plan if the income tax increase fails in May. What are we going to say are the

consequences? Clement asked. We only have four meetings before our citizens will vote on that and I think they need to know whats at stake. Councilman and Finance Committee President Josh Gillespie said he would like to see a permanent 2014 Budget to see the actual

figures before committing to cuts and reductions. Riddell suggested councilman send their suggestions to Gillespie in the weeks before the next council meeting. The next regular council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. March 3.

And the loser is ... us

Do you recognize the names Guy Perillat and Milorad Cavic? They came in second to Olympic gold medalists Jean-Claude Killy and Michael Phelps, respectively, each by a single hundredth of second. Or as its called in the real world, a tie. If the time clock was measured in tenths of a second, or even fiftieths of a second, Killy and Perillat would have tied in the 1968 Winter Games. They both would have received gold medals and become darlings of the 60s jet set. Phelps and Cavic might both be starring in Subway commercials if they had tied in the 100-meter butterfly in London in 2012. Instead, Cavic lost by 0.01 of a second. By contrast, Usain Bolt won the gold in London by beating Yohan Blake in the 100-meter sprint by just over one-tenth of a second, and even to the untrained eye, it was an obvious victory. It wasnt even close. You could see who won easily, without debate, no photo finish required. There are a great many good things about keeping hyper-accurate time. Its good for training and its good for the record books. But in competitions, hypersensitive timekeeping makes being 0.01 of a second behind the winner somewhat like being a Soviet politician in the Cold War who falls out of favor. Youre removed from the history books; your name is never spoken again. You become a nonperson. Sports seems to be one of the few human endeavors that hates a tie -- someone has to win. Why? A lot of people would go to a movie that starred Julia Roberts or Meryl Streep. But they would also go to a movie that starred Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. Theyre both winners. There is no second place. In show business, there are lots of winners; hundreds of stars can walk down the red carpet at the Academy Awards and theyll all get the over-thetop celebrity treatment. But if gold and silver Olympians walk into an event, the silver medalist may as well be in the witness protection program for all the attention he wont

get. Hell never see his face on a Cheerios box; he wont be in TV ads; he wont get as many sponsors. Contestants that get kicked off Survivor on their very first week will get a publicist and an agent to paw through their offers to appear on morning shows and at state fairs. It gets even stranger if you compare someone who comes in second at the Olympics to, say, the 71st best TV sportscaster in the country, who is treated like the Sun King. He doesnt have to be first, second or third best. He just has to be on TV. People take him to lunch, they send him trinket-loaded swag bags and he plays free rounds of proam golf at all the best courses. He gets asked for autographs and begged to heal sick relatives with his magic touch. But he thinks that the guy who comes in third in the downhill is a bum -- someone who didnt try hard enough. Now, dont misunderstand me: Im not for lowering the standards of sports. Trying your hardest and never giving up are admirable qualities, but most of us do that every single day without expecting a medal for it. For the gold, you cant just be good at something -- you have to be the best. Most gold medalists win by remarkable margins; they dominate their competition. If Phelps and Cavic had tied, Phelps still would have come home with a remarkable and record-breaking eight gold medals -- a performance that may never be duplicated. Killy would still have the three golds he won in 1968 as well as a couple of World Cups. Nothing would change for those two, but it might have for their competitors.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol

HI AND LOIS

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2014 Your employer or an important person will be impressed with your determination and commitment. Your leadership skills, versatility and accomplishments will bring greater recognition. Advancement can be yours this year if you concentrate on getting ahead. Welcome new opportunities, and you will succeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Spending your hard-earned cash on frivolous purchases or helping others will lead to financial trouble. Adhere to a strict budget before its too difficult to dig your way out of debt. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Neglecting your love life will be emotionally costly. Plan to share quality time with someone special, or engage in events geared toward finding love. You deserve to be happy for a spell. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Maintain patience and understanding when dealing with others. A troublesome situation will escalate quickly if you arent sensitive to the problems and challenges faced by others. Do whats right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Youll be offered unwanted advice. Disregard any such counsel and remain on the path that you feel most comfortable with. Discipline and commitment will bring you success. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Give your spirits a lift by spending time with children or close friends. Treating yourself to a guilty pleasure will add to your enjoyment. Your good humor will be appreciated. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It may seem as though others are taking advantage of you. Make your feelings known in a firm but tactful way. Your frustration will only increase if you dont speak up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Regardless of from whence it comes, do not repeat gossip. You will be looked upon as untrustworthy, and it could cause irreparable damage to your reputation. Concentrate on work, not meddling. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) -Focus on romance. Revitalize your relationship with someone special. Unexpected expenses may cramp your style, but you can still show your affection without trying to buy love. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You are in need of some peace and solitude. Avoid conflicts that may cause emotional and physical distress. A quiet evening alone will calm your nerves. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Refrain from discussing your financial status. Only a trusted professional adviser has the qualifications necessary to provide the information you require. Relying on a well-meaning friend will result in future problems. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Offering unsolicited advice to peers will lead to trouble. Dont be afraid to admit that you dont have all the answers. Instead, devote your energy to doing what you do best. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -There are many resources available that provide practical ways to refocus your attitude. Consider a discussion group or seminar that would inspire you to approach life in a positive manner. COPYRIGHT 2014 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
